re: #30 William Lewis

An economics consideration. Given the disdain of the “libertarians” out there for our modern fiat currency, it’s arguable that there would not be much use of it after a collapse of central government.

By the same token, even though they love their gold and silver, you can’t eat it and or take any food with it.

Nope. Ammunition will become the currency of the day in such an America.
10 rounds 9mm/5.56 as the “dollar”. Varying exchange rates for other ones - popular ones (30-30, 30-06, 308, etc) worth than less common (30-40, 7mm mauser) ones.

At least I think some of these horders must think so… I’d just like to find some affordable 9mm target ammo again.

The currency of the post-apocalypse is bottle caps. Everybody knows this.
